Chapter 444: No Choice
"In the past, when it was peaceful, the Zhenhai Dart Bureau was famous, and no one dared to rob the darts of the Zhenhai Dart Bureau. And now, there are more and more mountain bandits and thieves, and they are becoming more and more rampant! There are often people who block the road to rob the darts, and the Zhenhai Dart Bureau has lost many brothers in order to keep the darts. But even if the brothers of the dart game fought to the death, the robbers were very vicious, and the darts of the dart game were still robbed. I sighed, "Uncle Xuan had to lose five times the amount of money." I looked at him with a sad face, noticing the change in his expression.
His face was still faint when he listened, and nothing changed.
From the time I saw him again, I noticed that he was more confident and better at hiding his emotions than before. If he used to be good at using laughter to hide his emotions, then now he doesn't even need to laugh, as if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, and his face did not change.
He said lightly: "Then let's stop the dart game for a while, I believe that it won't be long before the world will be peaceful!" ”
"Huh?" I couldn't help but be stunned.
What does he mean by that? Does he say that he is confident that he can quickly attack the capital and end the melee?
"Uh...... We heard from Uncle Qian and were so shocked at the time that we really couldn't believe that King Qi was really you, so we ...... That's why we're here for you! ”
The corners of his mouth hooked, revealing a sneer, "Really? Why not? Don't I have that ability in your eyes? ”
I shook my head, "It's not that I don't believe you don't have this ability!" I just didn't expect you to do that? Didn't you tell me before that you don't have this heart? ”
"Yes, I really didn't have that in mind at that time." He looked up into the distance, his gaze like a beam of light stretching into the distance, deep and distant, "But...... Now, I, have no choice! ”
Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but think of his tragic life experience and fell silent.
There was silence all around, and the mountain wind seemed to stop at this moment.
I asked softly, "Is there really no other choice?" ”
He didn't answer, just looked up at the moon as bright as a jade disk. Although the moonlight is so bright at the moment, although the two of us are standing together, I feel his loneliness, the kind of loneliness that goes deep into the bone marrow, which makes me feel a little distressed.
Could it be that something happened after we parted that day that made him have to do this?
I asked, "Did something happen to you after you left the capital?" ”
“……”
"What happened after you went to Daqingshan?"
“……”
"Last time we asked you in Qingqing Valley, you didn't tell us?"
He turned to look at me, his expression calm, "The past, just let it pass, I don't want to talk about it." Tell me about you, shall we? Why did I come here, did I just want to verify whether I am the king of Qi or not? ”
"Huh??" Hearing him ask, I became excited.
Finally, it's time to get down to business! I took a deep breath, suppressed my excitement, and said, "Yes, we came to Qi to confirm that the king of Qi with great powers is not you!" ”
He smiled, as if he didn't believe it, "In that case, how could you be in Yecheng?" Still help Liao Zhiyong defend the city? ”
He's really still haunted by this matter, and if I don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid he won't believe me anymore. I sighed and said helplessly, "That's the case, let's go to Qidi to look for you, pass by Yecheng, just in time for you to attack Yecheng." We don't know that Xiao Yao is you, we see those soldiers guarding the city, one by one so miserable, we want to save them, I can swear to God, we are just saving people, and we will never help them defend the city. ”
Qin Yichang looked at me quietly, didn't say anything, and couldn't tell from his face whether he believed my words or not.
I continued, "You have to know that with the martial arts of Flywheel, Qi Kuai, and Wenwen, they really want to help Liao Zhiyong defend the city, will it be so easy when you attack the city?" Your soldiers are sure to suffer heavy losses! ”
Hearing my words, his expression seemed to loosen a little, and his face softened a little, but he still said coldly, "But you are negotiating on their behalf!" ”
I admitted: "I did ask for the negotiation!" ”
"......" Although he didn't speak, there was a question in his eyes.
I looked into his eyes and said sincerely: "First, because we see the people of Yecheng pitiful, we hope that the war will not affect them; The second is to want to kill fewer people. It makes me feel uncomfortable to see so many people fall in front of me one by one. I thought it would be nice if I could convince you to stop fighting, so I volunteered to negotiate. ”
“……”
"I didn't know that you were Xiao Yao before, so I naturally didn't dare to tell you the truth, but now I'm telling the truth, whether you believe it or not!"
Qin Yichang kept looking at me quietly, with an indifferent expression, and didn't speak until I finished speaking. I was a little nervous, if he didn't believe me now, then it seemed that the purpose of my coming here would not be achieved.
After a while, he smiled, lightly pursed his red lips, and said, "I believe in you!" I seemed to hear him breathe a sigh of relief, very lightly, as if a heart had fallen.
I smiled at him, and my heart sank.
"I've been standing for so long, I'm tired, let's sit down and talk, shall we?" After saying that, he sat down first, then looked up at me, "Sit down!" ”
I nodded, walked over to him, and sat down one person away.
He turned his head to look at me, and perhaps because of the moonlight on his back, I felt that his face was a little gloomy and seemed a little unhappy. I was a little nervous, but when I looked closely, I felt that his face was calm, and there was no other expression on his face.
"You!" He said in a tone of lesson, "It's really getting bolder!" Don't you know the danger when you dare to run to the castle tower? Those men under my command are very accurate in archery, and if they shoot you, your life will be gone! "Although he was teaching me a lesson, he had a doting smile on his face.
Looking at his smile, I was in a trance for a while, as if I was back in the old days when I was in King Luo, when he always smiled at me like this.
I unconsciously relaxed, and said proudly, "I'm not the same person I used to be." I can protect myself! ”
"Really?" He smiled and said, "How do I remember that on the city tower, an arrow almost hit you, if it wasn't for the flywheel pulling you in time, would you still have your life?" ”
"I ...... I...... And that's not because you......" I was going to say, it's not because you're wearing a mask that distracts me.
His smile froze on his face, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were in the castle tower. It was that arrow that made me recognize you. After recognizing you, I'm afraid I'll hurt you by mistake...... Then let them withdraw their troops at once. ”
